Installing and using Eclipse samples
Rogue Wave®
JViews Charts provides a number of Eclipse™ samples built for
Eclipse 3.7.X or later. The Eclipse samples are distributed as Eclipse
features and
plug-ins.
Installation of a new local site
In order to install the Rogue Wave JViews Eclipse plug-ins, you need to install from the local site as shown below.
For Eclipse 3.7 and later:
1. Launch your Eclipse installation.
2. Go to Help/Install New Software.
3. Add a new local site: Click Add, then Local, and then specify the directory <installdir>/jviews-framework/tools/ilog.views.eclipse.update.site
4. Select the features you want to install, and then click Next.
The Rogue Wave JViews local site is automatically created during the installation of your product. If you need to update the local site installation for any reason there is a batch file that will build the Eclipse update site and patch your Rogue Wave JViews license key into the appropriate plug-in.
In order to rebuild the Rogue Wave JViews local site, you should run the following file:
Windows®:
<installdir>/jviews-framework/tools/build_eclipse.bat.
UNIX®:
<installdir>/jviews-framework/tools/build_eclipse.sh.
